Intel Merrifield SoC benchmark scores online
Interesting, some benchmark score of Intel's Redhookbay, which is equipped with a dual-core Merrifield SoC (for smartphones), hit the web. In the graphics performance NenaMark2 benchmark the chip reaches a score of 58.30 fps (but that might be limited due to a 60 FPS cap). In the more general AnTuTu benchmark it scores 31612 points (!) and that is nearly three times as much as the Exynos 4412 based Samsung Galaxy S III and the Tegra 3 based HTC One X.
Redhookbay is shown as running Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, with a 1280 x 720 resolution display and the multi-core Merrifield, which scored 31,612 on AnTuTu benchmark. The processor is between 1.6GHz and 2GHz. The reported GPU is a PowerVR SGX 544MP. Unlike the Medfield, Merrifield offers 4G LTE support.
So far, performance tests of the demo handsets have been impressive, but power consumption is also a critical factor and Intel has yet to disclose full details of Medfield's performance in this critical area.
The Intel Merrifield SoC is anticipated to be revealed in February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Out of battery will come next after famious out of memory.
Well sayd tsunami.

Don't put too much stock in the idea of massive power consumption, the current - quite old - Intel smartphone chips are very competitive with current generation ARM equivalents and there's no reason to expect that this chip wouldn't compare well to A15-based ARM designs.
Say what you will about Intel but they are industry leaders in both design and manufacturing, have almost unlimited funds compared to ARM and haven't gone wrong since the P4.

smartphone makers seem to ignore 2 important components....memory and battery. All the processing power in the world doesn't make up for lack of memory or lack of battery.

Basically this, while Intel is getting better at battery efficiency, they only beat ARM variants with a single-core SoC. Not sure if Intel can keep the power consumption down with multiple cores.
I agree with everyone about battery, I rather trade better battery life over super performance. Performance is important but battery life should be paramount.
Companies like Intel, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Broadcom and etc. need to focus on designing better baseband radios than focus on SoC performance. They all do baseband radios and SoCs, they should make the former much more energy efficient. While displays eat the most battery, baseband radios are probably 2nd on that list. They eat battery like no tomorrow.

All this power has to come at the expensive of battery life which is already an issue with alot the current phones. Interesting none the less
